When we think of princesses, a lot of us might imagine Cinderella or Snow White. But there is one Japanese artist that is fascinated with Japanese princesses — Kishō Tsukuda.
In Tsukuda’s case, the term “princess” is used in a more broader sense, and does not necessarily indicate specific princesses from Japanese fairytales. Rather, she poignantly depicts women that make Japan beautiful, in particular those who exude and represent various aspects of the deep culture.
The Kumamoto-born illustrator and painter portrays these women in the style of Japanese traditional art, but if you look closely, you might notice that there are different styles within the realm of traditional art. From the more old-fashioned Edo-style to the more extravagant Kabuki-style, Tsukuda creates artwork that is both breathtaking and a little bit nostalgic.
